Clear and understandable guide to the Yosemite 10.10 Apple Operating System. This is a guide requiring some technical competence as it is intended for training technical support personnel (and for preparing for a certification exam), but it is surprisingly "readable" with strong adherence to topics, providing relevant information without swamping the reader with confusing tangents (as is all too common in technical books). Even for those who just want a more detailed understanding of the OS without plans for certification, etc., it is a useful book that helps to provide behind-the-scenes context for much that users take for granted on an Apple computer. The book is never boring and contains many "tips" and shortcuts that are useful even for those who skip the most technical parts. Excellent book.

This book opens the door for anyone that wants to understand more about OS X. Some books only gloss over the underlying features of OS X but this book allows you to have hands on exercises and at the same time increases your understanding of a very complex and easily used operating system.

This is good at telling you how to get under the hood on Mac OS X 10,10 (Yosemite). Not too dry or hard to understand. I found it easy to find what I needed to know. Saved me a few calls to tech support. Lacks the humor or appeal of David Pogue's Missing Manual books. Far more comprehensive though.
